The appellant appealed his summary conviction for obstructing a peace officer.
A police officer had attended the appellant's residence to warn him about a trespass complaint and spoke to an individual who falsely identified himself.
The officer later recognized the appellant as that individual during a traffic stop and arrested him.
On appeal, the appellant argued the trial judge erred in assessing the identification evidence and in finding the officer was in the lawful execution of his duty when he approached the patio door of the residence.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's assessment of the identification evidence or the application of the implied licence to knock doctrine.
